REVISED TEXT FOR PRESIDENTIAL LETTER TO
THE SCHOOLCHILDREN OF TEXAS
TO BE PUBLISHED IN THE FORT WORTH STAR-TELEGRAM
TO THE SCHOOLCHILDREN OF TEXAS:
At the beginning of a new year, most Americans make New
Year's resolutions. Today, as we stand on the threshold of a new
decade, I'm asking each of you to make a commitment that is more
important than any New Year's resolution you've ever made. I am
asking you to lead a life free from drugs.
Most of you already know the dangers of drug abuse and the
tragic consequences it holds for individuals and their
communities. Each day, the news brings frightening evidence of
the violence, death, and despair caused by drug use. You may
have even seen the terrible problems caused by drug use in your
own school or neighborhood.
I know that most of you have already made the right decision
and have said "No" to drugs, but some kids have not. Those are
the young people who need help -- those are the young people who
have put their lives at risk.
A long time ago, I learned that the kind of people you have
as friends can make you a stronger person, a better person.
People who encourage you to try drugs might act like friends, but
they are not. True friends care for you and for your future.
2
I ask all of you to make the right decision today and for
the rest of your life -- the decision to stay away from drugs and
the people who deal them. If you're in trouble because of drugs,
get help. If you're not, help someone who is. There are adults
out there who care about you and want to help. They can, too, if
you let them.
Each of you holds so much hope and promise for the future --
don't let drugs take that away from you. Let's work together to
win the war on drugs and build a better tomorrow. I believe that
each of you can make a difference.
God bless you.
